QUOTESSasha Rearick, Head CoachBoth Ted and Andrew skied well. They made some good turns, but you had to really go hard and straight and just throw yourself absolutely down the hill if you wanted to have a chance. Generally our guys just over skied it.

The hill was an easy course set – pretty straight with a lot of places to tuck. Besides Aksel, who was perfect today, the times were all really tight.
